CELTIC Football Club is delighted today to announce New Balance as its new official kit supplier, having signed a long-term sponsorship with the sports brand in potentially the biggest kit deal the club has ever agreed.
New Balance will supply the team kit, training wear and equipment from the 2015/16 season onwards.
Celtic join a host of other New Balance-sponsored clubs from the worldâs top football leagues. With a huge fanbase spanning all continents, Celtic will be joining with one of the worldâs leading sports and lifestyle brands.
Celtic supports New Balanceâs vision to further build on its global presence, while the Scottish champions will have access to New Balanceâs extensive global network of retail outlets. This, in turn, will support the Celtic brand's own growth aspirations in a range of international market places.
Celtic has a strong connection to New Balanceâs home town of Boston and is fortunate to have a significant fanbase in the city. Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "New Balance is one of the worldâs leading sportswear manufacturers and will cater for the huge global demand for Celtic kit. Importantly our cultures match well.
"While New Balance is relatively new to football, its sporting heritage dates back over 100 years and there is huge excitement around the brand and its ambitions globally.
"Our supporters are rightly proud of the similarly long and prestigious history of our club, and both Celtic and New Balance look forward to an exciting, long and rewarding future collaboration.
"Once again we are pleased to connect with a brand of such quality and stature and we are sure our supporters will warmly welcome New Balance to the Celtic family."
Richard Wright, General Manager of New Balance Football, said: âWe are so excited to be working with Celtic Football Club. The famous green and white hoops are an iconic symbol in football and we canât wait to collaborate with the club on future ranges of apparel.
"This deal with Celtic will enable New Balance to become synonymous with all thatâs great about the Scottish game. Weâre dedicated to producing innovative products that the players and fans can wear on the way to creating more cherished memories for this great club.â
